21:50 Yes, Achilles and Patroclus. Their *friendship* was so strong that they kissed each other and Achilles’ one wish was that their ashes were mixed together Historians wish their homies had that bond like that too!!! 🥶🥶😪😪
love how you can tell he really likes this subject and is a greek mythology nerd because even when he's talking about it during lore, he says country but stops and takes a second to clarify it was actually a "city state". like, his voice changes as well and it's honestly a mood
@@Iliadic Well English was his major in college, but that means little. He could still very well love Greek mythology, and he dropped out of college anyway.
Fun fact, the prefix "techno" as it's used today comes from the Greek word "techne", which means "art, skill, craft, or the way, manner, or means by which a thing is gained". "Blade", on the other hand, is of Germanic origin, coming from a word used to refer to the leaf of a plant.
After the news today, I can’t help but come back to this video. One of the main reasons I watched technoblade was because I love Greek mythology. RIP the man, the myth, the legend.
OMG Techno missing Eret declaring war on King George due to rummaging in his room for an old Greek Mythology textbook to tell chat stories is prime Old God energy
I actually want a Greek myths podcast from Techno now ETA: Are y'all genuinely stupid or something? I made this comment a LONG time before he passed away. I'm constantly getting notifications from people saying that it's too late for that. No shit, y'all.. It's so disrespectful to him to be like "🤓☝️ uh well" all the time at a comment made almost a year before he passed.
@Daiwik Poojary I was talking about the concept of doubt, some people may not see him as the blood god, for we true believers seem like fakes to those of the non enlightened.
i miss him so much, it just hit me that we’ll never hear him tell another story of greek mythology again. i love rewatching his vods for comfort now, but it always makes me feel sad
As someone who also has ADHD (I'm assuming most know, but for those who don't, Techno has it), hearing him try to retell stories and bits of trivia he remembers.. Is so god damn relatable. It's like hearing myself. You remember the story itself, but just can't recall the small details like names and stuff, and then you break up the flow of the story trying to remember the name 😂.
@@zero-dv5cv I get what you mean not everyone needs to have ADHD to relate to struggling to retell stories and bits of information but sometimes it nice to find others with similar struggles that a person with ADHD has. I’m not sure if I worded that correctly but I hope you get what I mean
i feel like technoblade from the way he worded the story’s was IN these story’s, like he WATCHED them go down, I can just think of little techno watching this happen and is like “man when I’m older I’m gunna make SO MUCH money from these story’s”
i’m back here for comfort. we’ll love you forever and forever remember the impact you had on our lives. “technoblade never dies” will be carved in our heart forever because you will never die in our hearts. rest easy
Hearing Technoblade talk about Greek mythology so passionately was what I found so endearing, he truly was a god himself when you think about it. RIP Technoblade, Technoblade never dies in our hearts ❤
These clips give me the sense that Technoblade is actually just an immortal and he’s just trying to remember stories from when he was *_actually there,_*
21:41 in paris’s defense, he was not TOLD his new girlfriend would already be married. aphrodite just told him “the prettiest girl in the kingdom” or something, and did not think to include this girl was already married, let alone to the KING.
Paris was honestly a very self-centered person though so even if he knew he would probably have still agreed because he believed that he should have anyone he wanted, and he didn't even think Helen was good enough for him. Aphrodite was the one he believed was good enough for him, but she denied him, and he only stood Helen because aphrodite believed her a good fit for him. And when you think about it, all of his self-centered-ness started when the goddesses deemed him worthy enough to judge their beauty. Im not arguing or anything lmao, I'm just sharing what I remember so I might not be completely accurate.
“Which mythological hero wasn’t terrible” Achilles. Odysseus. Neither one raped or kids kidnapped women. They just loved someone and wanted to get back to them
If Technoblade does any non-Minecraft content he's got to check out Hades, it's a great indie game and has one of my favorite interpretations of the Greek Pantheon. It's also from Supergiant Games, the developers of Bastion.
@@no0b_27 it’s a roguelike where you play as Zagreus-Hades’ son and prince of the underworld-and basically just repeatedly attempt to escape the underworld as the story slowly unfolds with your progression and each attempt/death. The narrative is p similar to an rpg where you unlock characters’ stories over time through interaction/progression.
We named our cat Paris because Paris killed Achilles, and he likes to attack your heels when you try and walk up the stairs. Paris killed Achilles, and humans have the Achilles heel. Make sense yet?
I wish you were still here Rest In Peace techno and thank you for everything I hope you can make people happy in heaven like you did us fly high king 👑 TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES cause your a LEGEND.
If I remember correctly, didn’t Theseus mess it up for himself? I believe he left Ariadne alone on an island after she helped him. And didn’t he also kill his son Hippolytus (under influence from Aphrodite)? There were other factors, but I forget them
@@theretiredandoverworkedkin9333 then he got trapped while his friend died (though I think Hercules later saved Theseus and when he got back to his kingdom, it did not look well for him)
@@meeper46 Oh right yeah Heracles tried to save both of them but in the end he only saved Theseus and as for Pirithous, Hades was like 'bruh not t h i s o n e.'
I actually laughed a little when Techno decided to use Theseus as an example for a hero wrongly banished because Theseus was kind of a dick. He got banished for a reason, y’know!
@@sirensong1794 ngl I actually considered calling Tommy as Jason from Jason and the Argonauts but Jason himself is quite unlucky and died all alone. We're settling for Theseus.
Let's all just say farewell to the best youtuber that made us happy during bad days and making our days and he will never die becuase he is always in our hearts and becuase TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!!!
Lmao, my mom just walked in and hear "Tommy and Theseus wouldn't be caut dead respecting woman. They can be called many things but not simps" She just gave me this confused glare and called him a idiot
Gilgamesh being a 2/3 demigod isn't because they messed up the math its just because he was so divine he had 2/3 divine blood not the traditional 1/2 divine blood of the Greeks, Gilgamesh was Mesopotamian so its different for him
Techno is right in that myths are memes, strictly speaking, the term meme was invented by Richard Dawkins as the idea equivalent of genes, bassically a meme is an idea that is passed on or spreads like genes or a disease/virus. Ideas essentially reproduce and breed with each other, creating new ideas or just existing only to perpetuate themselves. We even see this in internet memes which are like a semi-controlled environment of memes, where people purposefully create new ones, modify and mix existing ones, and spread them around. Think about all the variations of wojak or the cover yourself in oil meme, these are perfect examples as memes that have descended from other memes and made new ones and spread themselves. Myths spread in a similar way, and over time they’ve mixed with other stories until we got the versions were familiar with now, and we’ve been introduced to most of these myths through new mediums that also changed the story. These are ideas that have spread, reproduced, been mixed or essentially bred with each other, to perpetuate themselves and spread farther.
Reading this late at night after doing math all day and I have to admit I’ve read this over 10 times and I still can’t understand this. I did to much stuff for college math today you killed me
There are some lesser known heroes that actually have somewhat decent deaths. For example Teukros who fought together with Aias during the battle of troye. Sure he was exiled (because he didnt avenge Aias' death - a suicide), but he then founded a city on Cyprus. Lived a decent live there.
Theres a flaw in techno's speech, Theseus had made the king commit die due to not changing the sail on his boat, makimg the king think he waas dead. Theseus had also kidnapped 12 year old, Helen of troy to wait until she was of legal age. And lastly, he almost got killed by hades for helling his friend steak his wife, only to be saved by Heracles later. So really, Thesues is no hero. Hes a neutral, though yes he shouldn't have been exiled. And yes, he is still a greek hero and hero of athens. And all of what he did was considered acceptable at the time, i just kinda thought i should say it.
I really like Greek Mythology- so I'm just putting down a bit of what I know from the top of my head lol 2:02 Athena Aphrodite and Hera 3:11 He picks Aphrodite. Hera offered him the blessing of luck, bountiful harvests and large families. Athena offered him wisdom and the success of many battles. Aphrodite told him she'd make him prettier- which is what he was all about in the first place, so not much of a competition. 6:53 The river god Achelous wanted revenge on Heracles. The god told Heracles' wife that centaur blood would keep a husband faithful, she was having doubts of his monogamy (Heracles basically cheated on her every second hour, but that's not the point right now). So the wife spread the centaur's blood on the inside of his coat. The truth is that centaur's blood is actually a really potent poison, and gave Heracles a moderately slow and painful death.
If I recall correctly, it was actually a centaur who was killed by Hercules who was offering his no longer needed blood to Hercules's wife. What he didn't mention was the reason he was dying was because of the poisonous blood in Hercules's arrows, which mixed with his own blood. So when Hercules's wife made a coat with the centaur's blood smeared on the inside of it and had Hercules wear it, it was like dumping hydrochloric acid onto his torso.
